It's that time,we're getting ready to move.
The last time we did this, going to Tanzania, I wasn't very good at dwindling down my food supplies and so ended up tossing, donating, and giving quite a bit away.
This time, well, we just got back from a road trip, and as is usual on those kinds of trips, we spent a bit more than I had expected and so need to do some trimming this month to make up the difference.
Hence, the challenge - Other then perishables like milk, eggs, and fresh fruit/veggies, try to only eat from our pantry, freezer, and fridge for the entire month of August. (Quick caveat *We have 2 birthdays this month...Sissi's and Indy's...so there might be exceptions for those special events.)
Can we do it?
I never have done this before, though I've seen it blogged about and tried by many others.
So, I'll comment and post and let you know how we do.
Any suggestions, any thoughts? Have you done this? Any good recipe ideas? I'm off to do an inventory and make a list of what meals we can eat with what we have. We have a pretty well stocked pantry and freezer, so I know we won't starve, but I may have to pull on some creative juices to put a few things together.
We'll let you know how it goes.
I'm doing a modified version of this. I am trying to use up as much as I can from the freezer and pantry this month, but I am buying a few extras, too. If I don't at least try to clean out the pantry and the freezer from time to time, food tends to get forgotten and goes to waste. If you come up with some creative pantry-based meal combinations, please tell us about them. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will post some ideas and recipes!
